Obsessive Behavior

[Guest guest]

For those who may have children out there with this kind of behavior -

I'm not looking for things wrong with my son - trust me <grin> - but,

I notice Ian constantly repeats himself until you finally acknowledge

him. I've heard him say the same phrase, word or sentence up to 6

times until finally someone responds. Now, please believe me when I

say that I always respond to my children immediately - but, if I'm

having a conversation with someone and can't respond as quickly as I

would like - that would be an example of a time I fail to live up to

my children's response needs. My question then would be if this is

typical of obsessive behaviors is it something I should monitor??

Just curious. I also know this can be typical for a child of 2 - Ian

is very bright - but, I've heard him do it even during times of play -

where he will repeat something 2 or 3 times. Just curious.

Thanks in advance.
